John Perkins; He dared to speak

John Perkins, featured guests of this week’s episode of Economic Divide, says he was actually an “Economic Hit Man.” His job was to convince countries that are strategically important to the United States to accept enormous loans for infrastructure development and to make sure that the lucrative projects were contracted to US corporations.

In his new book, Confessions of An Economic hit man, John Perkins shares new details about the ways he and others cheated countries around the globe out of trillions of dollars. Then he reveals how the deadly EHM cancer he helped create has spread far more widely and deeply than ever in the United States and everywhere else—to become the dominant system of business, government, and society today, as he states in his review.

He also spoke about the economic reasons why the Daesh terrorist group has received support around the world.
